So this staff seems way more powerful than it actually is at first because it looks like Fly Trap is triggered whenever the character wielding it succeeds at *any* attack roll, including ranged attacks, spell attacks, unarmed attacks, anything. I had it on my warlock because I thought I was adding a chance to ensnare a target whenever he landed Eldritch Blast.
However, it looks like that's a bug. While the staff will force any enemy hit by any attack from its wielder to make the saving throw, it will only actually ensnare the target when you use the staff to hit the target in melee. For all other attacks, the target still has to roll the saving throw, but nothing happens if they fail.
Side note, even though the combat log mentions the usual math for a standard saving throw DC: (8+prof+spellcasting ability mod), it looks like the DC is a flat 12, regardless of the users stats.
So in practice, the weapon is functioning as intended (I think that's how it's intended, anyways). It just has buggy interactions with the combat log and a mildly misleading tooltip.
It's still a very strong option for a melee character, though, especially monks. The Ensnared condition is a nasty debuff to have as just a free rider effect on all your melee attacks. It's a great way to lock down archers and spellcasters since they usually have **** Str.

What stat of the caster is the DC based on? If I am a WIS caster is it WIS and if I am a INT caster is it INT? or does it have a set DC?

Seems to proc on literally any damaging effect produced by its wielder, including, oddly, ranged attacks with this quarterstaff in the melee slot. Incredibly effective paired with Spike Growth and probably anything else that has a frequent damage tick rate.
On one hand, this seems like a bug or oversight maybe, but on the other, I feel like it's powerful enough to justify the tradeoff between this and flat +1/+2 enchanted equipment, and it can be a useful "stat stick" for builds that can leverage its strengths. It's a funky item but I hope it doesn't get nerfed

Just confirmed that the ensnare effect can proc off damaging spells and cantrips, not just on melee hits with the staff.

i don't know about topple, but it applies on basic attack. Just used it as it was the best staff available for my combat druid, so i didn't test it thouroughly, but the proc chance seems quite high ! Maybe up to 50%

Fly Trap's Save DC is 12 and it's a STR Save. Should also mention that this is a good item for an early game Shillelagh build for a Druid or Nature Cleric.
